Speech Representation Models for Speech Synthesis and Multimodal Speech Recognition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The field of speech recognition has seen steady advances over the last two decades, leading to the accurate, real-time recognition systems available on mobile phones today. In this thesis, I apply speech modeling techniques ...
Fourier-Motzkin with non-linear symbolic constant coefficients
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
The polyhedral framework is an elegant and useful system for reasoning about loop nests in programs, and is commonly used to perform complex loop transformations such as tiling and parallelization. However, several critical ...
Client-side optimizations for mobile publish subscribe systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Smartphones can provide a great deal of information about their users using numerous built-in sensors, such as location, local weather conditions, or current method of travel. This information has the potential to be ...
Integrating interactive evolutionary exploration and parametric structural design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Current modeling and analysis tools are extremely powerful and allow one to generate and analyze virtually any structural shape. However, most of them do not allow designers to integrate structural performance as an objective ...
Structural and mechanical analysis of the black widow spider web subjected to stretching, expansion and wind
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The web of the black widow is apparently a random spatial arrangement of threads, which provides its occupant with housing, means to capture prey and protection. However to ensure that these functions are fulfilled, the ...
Design of a teacher education model that improves teacher educator efficiency in processing teacher candidate data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Existing state of the art practice-based teacher education models either rely on heavy teacher educator time commitment to process teacher candidate performance stored in rich media like audio or video, or rely on teacher ...
Matching startup founders to investors : a tool and a study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The process of matching startup founders with venture capital investors is a necessary first step for many modern technology companies, yet there have been few attempts to study the characteristics of the two parties and ...
Long-term multi-object tracking in indoor environments using network flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis presents a system for long-term tracking of multiple people in indoor environments using a min cost flow algorithm to optimize the association of short-term tracklets. This system is built on top of an existing ...
A single-pass grid-based algorithm for clustering big data on spatial databases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The problem of clustering multi-dimensional data has been well researched in the scientific community. It is a problem with wide scope and applications. With the rapid growth of very large databases, traditional clustering ...
Jelf : a web framework for automatic privacy policy enforcement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
As people share more personal data on the web, it is increasingly important to correctly enforce policies on sensitive data. To address this problem, we have developed Jelf, a web framework that allows the programmer to ...
